For his performance, Dunlop was named the Atlantic University Sport Male Field Athlete of the Year.

Dunlop will next compete in U SPORTS Nationals at the shotput, March 6-8 in Windsor, ON. Last season, Dunlop won a silver medal in shot put at the AUS Championships, and went on to the U SPORTS Nationals, where he finished 11th in the country.
